Whilst there is an animate option within the Video Ouput FX effect chain with the LUT plugin, there is nothing to animate. In a nutshell I want to switch LUTs or toggle on and off a LUT during part of my video. Anybody know how I can do this?
Many thanks

Don't use Video Output FX
Use event FX
Thanks Quitter. Surely then though I have to copy and paste event to all (hundreds of) clips in my timeline(s). And in some of the clips there are fx I wouldn't want to copy - applying to video as a whole seemed the best way.
I think there is no way to toggle this certain plug-in on/off. So maybe all you can do is using it as Event FX as Quitter noted and split your event(s) where toggling should happen.
Or use two tracks with one of it containing the LUT plug-in and spread your Events appropriate over these two tracks.
Don't know if it would work to keyframe the LUTs used as this is the only parameter which can be animated. This would assume you have kind of "dummy LUT" available which just does nothing.
I've installed the plugin, Marcos way with the two tracks seemed the best and most comfortable way
Many thanks for your input folks - I concur Marco's method would appear to be the simplest. I did create a dummy LUT and switched between them via a keyframe - and whilst this appears to work intermittently in preview, I think upon playback it appears the LUT is only loaded once and so doesn't work once rendered.
Don't understand what you're doing, you don't need Keyframes
Take 2 Video tracks in the timeline,
Place your events in the track with LUT and place the events you don't want to have LUT on in the Track without LUT
Hi, yes, I get that, and it works. I was looking for one even cheaper option with just one event FX on the whole video, especially as my timeline covers 4 video tracks. But that's just my untidiness on this particular project - the dual track as you mention will do the job. I'm one of those who will always try to find an even shorter cut I'm afraid ;-)
